Could you clarify your statements and provide references to the bad stats?

I'm not sure if you are accusing the Stanford doctors in the article of bad stats or those arguing against the doctors in the article.

I'm talking about the Stanford doctor in this article. Here's a summary of what he's been doing since the start of this, and he's been very wrong:

> In fact, criticism of the two studies has woven a damning tapestry of Twitter threads and blog posts pointing out flaws of the studies—everything from basic math errors to alleged statistical sloppiness and sample bias

Unless I'm missing something, it's Twitter and blogs against published studies. Sounds like he's been proven wrong all right...
